3 Guaranteed Ways to Get Your Movie Seen Globally
Want to know how to reach a global audience with your film? We have prepared a small guide with three guaranteed ways to get your movie seen. Let’s look at them in detail:
1. Make it accessible to everyone
Closed Captions and Subtitles are the most cost-effective means to give access to non-native speakers, as well as those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Typically, the cost is around one-quarter of the cost of dubbing. So yes, it’s inexpensive.
The primary reason for this exceptional rate is that the subtitles are created by only one or two people per language (a transcriptionist and a translator/subtitler). On the other hand, dubbing requires many translators, engineers, directors, and voice performers.
Video content is unavailable to a large section of the world’s population without subtitles. Having professional subtitles to allow international viewers to consume the video easily is a highly beneficial and straightforward option for businesses and entertainment enterprises to capitalize on overseas consumers.
2. Translate to the best languages
However, dubbing is the ideal translation technique to connect people with the story or message because it demands less work from the spectator. As no reading abilities are required, dubbing is the sole viable alternative for low-literacy areas.
Using a dubbing company for translation takes more money and time than using subtitles. As a result, working with a specialized dubbing services studio is critical to translate and accurately modify the text before casting and recording with the best professional foreign voices. To gain large audiences, most top-tier films, video games, and adverts are dubbed in several language versions.
3. Choose the top markets
Understanding the economic landscapes of other countries will help when choosing the translation of your film. Many film companies expand globally to reach new markets and diversify their staff for greater business continuity. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the top 15 countries in terms of GDP in 2022. According to the World Bank, the following countries are on the list:
- United States: $20.89 trillion
- China: $14.72 trillion
- Japan: $5.06 trillion
- Germany: $3.85 trillion
- United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
- India: $2.66 trillion

- Russia: $1.48 trillion
- Brazil: $1.44 trillion
- Australia: $1.32 trillion

United States
A range of factors contributes to the United States’ prosperity. An entrepreneurial climate that emphasizes hard work and long hours is undoubtedly beneficial. However, decentralized governance, cutting-edge research universities, and favorable regulatory regimes all play a role. Therefore, the United States will very certainly always remain among the world’s top GDP-producing countries.
China
The Chinese economy is one of the fastest-growing in the twenty-first century and is now the world’s second-largest. With China’s Belt and Road Initiative effectively combining its foreign and economic policies, the advocacy of utilizing the Chinese Renminbi for settlement purposes has grown. The country is becoming more prominent in the global economy, and since the 2008 financial crisis, it has been the leading contributor to global growth.
Japan
The four main islands of Japan – Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu – comprise almost 98 percent of the country’s land area. It has the world’s third-largest economy in terms of nominal GDP and the fourth-largest economy in purchasing power parity (PPP).
